A rare opportunity to own this French built performance cruiser. The spectacular
Beneteau First 45 was designed by Naval Architect Phillipe Briand. The First 45
has both performance and comfort, hence the name “Balance.” Spend your spring
and winters on the racing circuit and spend your summers cruising the Salish Sea
in style.

 

Performance: While it has head turning lines, it is built to offshore
specifications. The First 45’s are regulars on one of the most challenging races
in the world – the Sydney Hobart race. Balance has the optional tall, triple
spreader mast with rod rigging. She has pure, sleek lines with a lowered coach
roof while maintaining generous headroom below. The deep T-profile torpedo-bulb
keel and balanced rudder have been faired and epoxy coated. A retractable Side
Power bow thruster keeps the bottom sleek when not needed.

 

The double composite steering wheels, well-positioned primaries and the cockpit
sole mounted mainsheet traveler all add up to a crew friendly and efficient
sailing trim system that is both comfortable and safe to operate. Harken 60
primary winches are positioned well in reach of either steering wheel as well as
the traveler lines for powering up after a tack – while the German style
mainsheet is led aft ending at a pair of Harken 48s.

 

A carbon fiber spinnaker pole and fixed sprit provide options for downwind and
code sails. Jib inhaulers provide the ability to sail closer to the wind. A
Leisure Furl Boom and Facnor Flat Deck jib furler ease sail handling of the
powerful North 3Di sails. An electric Harken winch helps with the halyards.
Should you desire to return to the OEM setup, the sale includes the OEM Boom,
North 3Di Mainsail and the North Quick Cover lazy jack canvas.

 

All new Garmin instruments and transducers were installed in 2024. See list for
details.

 

Comfort: Step below and there are comforts enough to call the 45 “home” while
cruising. Light oak and Alpi wood contrast nicely with upgraded white
upholstery. Forward, an owner’s stateroom includes head and shower and room to
dress for dinner. Aft, there are two double cabins, both with soft-sided hanging
lockers.

 

To port, a head with a shower doubles as a wet locker. Forward, the ample nav
station faces outboard. A pair of bolt-down stools amidships augment the salon
table and the L-shaped settee to port providing seating for 6.

 

Cruising amenities include refer, freezer, microwave, Webasto furnace, 4 burner
eno stove/oven and Starlink antenna mount. A lithium battery system and
inverter/charger installed in 2023 combined with a high output
alternator/regulator and a solar panel provide significant power while cruising.
A removable teak table transforms the working cockpit into a comfortable
entertainment area. The large aft locker provides ample storage for cruising
gear and toys.

 

The Iverson Dodger is upgraded with 1.25” frame, aft and side grab bars,
upgraded window vinyl,

and window covers. In addition, quick release pins attach the dodger to the deck
allowing quick

removal for racing.

 

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of the best racer-cruisers on the
market. A boat that

makes you turn and admire it whenever you leave the boat!
